ARTIST STATEMENT
Observing socio-political developments in the world, especially on the African continent, has made me more critical, direct, and truthful in my artistic work.
My series of paintings, sculptures and installations entitled "One-eyed" highlights the hidden side of the continent that is exemplified by the narrow-mindedness of the political elite who hinder the continent's development.
At the same time, I seek to rationalize the euro-centric perspective of Africa. As a result, my contemporary works, which integrate materials rich in our ancestors' values, cultures and traditions, are intimate and surprising.
In my works, I utilize objects deemed to have reached the end of their usefulness. I give them new shapes and forms, giving these objects a new life which is theirs.
